When Nathan realized that Trent was sincere with his apology, he decided to let him off. He coldly said, "I'll accept the Langers' apology on behalf of the Holland family. After you take your son home, you'll have to teach him a lesson. If he dares to make the same mistake again, he won't be easily forgiven the next time."
Upon hearing Nathan's words, Trent was overwhelmed with immense relief. "Yes, of course. Thank you, Mr. Cross!"
When Klay and his son saw Trent acting subserviently in front of Nathan, they were dumbfounded.
Right then, Nathan's gaze landed on the Lillard father and son.
He uttered in a frigid voice, "It's your turn now."
Klay was both stunned and furious. "Nathan, we're already on our knees. What else do you want? If I were you, I wouldn't burn my bridges. I'm reminding you now that the Lillard family has the General's support. If you cross our family, you're
crossing the General too."
Nathan scoffed, "Why don't I know that I'm supporting you?"
What?
Keller and Klay were startled.
Joe, too, was stunned.
Even the Holland family froze.
Is Nathan saying that he's the General?
Everyone was exchanging looks with each other. Only Trent and some were not surprised. They knew that Nathan was the General of the North before they came.
Soon, Klay returned to his senses, and he sneered, "You are such an arrogant prick? Don't you know that pretending to be the General is a felony? You can rot in jail for the rest of your life with those words you have just said."
Nathan laughed, "Why do I have to pretend to be myself?"
Klay grinned. "Since you're insisting that you're the General, let me call Colonel Henderson, the commander-in-chief of the Bossania army. Let him be the one to expose you of your lies and arrest you."
Patrick Henderson was the commander-in-chief of the Bossania army. He was a colonel, and his army was under the jurisdiction of the North Army.
Previously, Colin was the one who called Patrick, asking him to send the plaque to the Lillard family.
That was how Klay had the contact number of the colonel.
